Echinodorus parviflorus develops a dense, broad rosette of countless sword-shaped, lanceolate leaves. Smaller in size then the larger amazon sword, would be good in smaller to medium sized aquariums.
A striking contrast plant to the other species in the genus. The oval dark green leaves are sturdy and "hammered" in appearance, giving them a crinkly look. A thick rosette of leaves arise from the rhizome; the plant grows according to the light intensity, reaching a maximum height from 2 to 6 inches, about half the height of the original wild species.
Propagation is by plantlets arising from the flower stalks. Growth is moderately slow even under ideal conditions.
